Mid-Summer Theatrical & Sporting Number July 9. Details of Johnson-Jeffries light THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOL. XXIII. NUMBER 27 WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE DECIDED Best Specimens of Mankind Will Contend for Mighty Stake— Will Fight on Fighting Principles—Short and Furious, Governor Dickerson, of Nevada, has endeared himself to the hearts of liberal-viewed men everywhere. Beyond the law, the chief executive has seen "the man who dances," his word as a man and an officer that they had nothing to fear of him or the law. The assurance relieved a great weight from the minds of the fight captains, who each bound up in the nod of a single man. The suspense was intense. No section of the country was free of doubt as to what the next casting of the dice would show forth. The entire world of sporting events was awaiting the final word from Reno. Perhaps no other event of history has held so universally the gaze of mankind. ... His Excellency even showed a spirit of camerade by becoming the guest of Tex Rickard, the referee, and in visiting the players, Jeffries, at the time, was in one of his pets. He is moody at times, and the distinguished visitor, who had done so much to increase the great white bear do a single trick. Big Jim is all of a bear; prefers being alone, is gruff and grumbling, so much so that he must be assemble a funeral, while that of his opponent is more like a picnic. This may mean nothing, since Jeffries has the white man's burden, consequently may be his program and will suffer no change. "Forty centuries are looking down" on him, while the cheery Hamite will not have to answer to the years help Jeffries, this terrible responsibility? . . . When Johnson enters the open-air arena to box he starts by slapping Johnny on his gloved hand. Fianagam on the his gloved hand, maybe, and whenever he nears the ropes Lofus reaches up and douses the fellow's back with cold water. There isn't a sign of fear, but he watches Lofus watching Kaufman, laughs and yells to Lofus. He will fall into a clinch later on, and he falls down on the ropes on some friend's knee. In another in clinch he'll hear an auto coming and look over, saying, "My, that sounds good to me," kidding with his sparring partners during the bouts, the big black, or, as McGarth calls him, "the large pot of demi-tasse," is always joking. Those who climb him at the ringside get the fever and howls. --- It is thought that Johnson will not rush this fight, yet there is nothing declaring the his training, which is shown to some of his unintended picture shows. In these images Johnson always on the defensive; he perseveres his punestest sparing partners to move him around; they advancing, he retreating, he advancing, he retreating. It was noticed, too, that when he need in chancery he punished it ad libitum, just about as he cared to what he had to do, the task is another question. Will he proceed to worming down his opponent, whom he would think he has reason to think is not as insulted. The question of the audience is the talk of the day in reference to the two fighters who have talked even learned on either side most of the talk has been in favor of Johnson, the power and because of the little argument of races in the contest. It is argument of power carried endurance. It has been used in tension when in activity, meaning in length, in most cases, formidable. At the moment, but not endurance. How long can he picture up? Jeffries mile-driving blows are not denied. Yet if the ability to land is wanting, he would be but an elephant versus a tiger. This ability is not denied, and if he has it he will use it to put Johnson to sleep in a hurry, or else Johnnies will take away his biking tactics, take away his wielding skills, will collapse like a punctured dirigible. With endurance in Johnson's favor, and according to the laws of nature, owing to youth and uninterrupted activity, Jeffries will be once into a sledge hammer and pound Johnson from the sounding of the gong. ... As to the matter of rounds, no one expects forty-five or scarcely the half of it. Most people that have thought on the fight and have come to conclusions, think that they are too short. Ten rounds is about as high as is ventured by the many; a few say twenty, and now and then an individual has the courage to say thirty. Thus the possible result is read from the training, which is the result of a past reputation. It is in the air—a sort of psychological demonstration, whose information is as complete and reliable as it is mystic. Not that the exact number of rounds are known, but an approximation, knowledge gained of the circumference, the air that the battle will be a short one. Then, again, either man is training for the stomach—a very good sign, by the way, and that is, it means the fight will not be a frame-up. Men punch at one another's stomachs mean business; they will not permit the taint of crookedness mar a game that stands for so much as in the particular instance. --- Big Bob Armstrong, the Negro who is a very valuable aid in the Jeffries camp, has it that Johnson won't last but a very six-pack. He is a matter of paragement as Johnson he does not like at all. Armstrong followed Johnson to Indianapolis when he was here not long since. He sat in the Freeman flice and had very much to say as to why he was there. He himself a sort of betting wizard, who never mislaid a piece of money on a prize fight. He was going to bet on Jeffries. He was going to bet on Jeffries, since Jeffries had concluded to take him on for his conceded training ability. Johnson had refused him a place, so he was a little sore, don't you know, on the big smoke. He had much to say that did not Johnson's cause. In the little group that sat around him and gulped own his words. . . . Tommy Burns has gotten into port, hailing from Australia. Burns remembers the memorable threshing he received at the time Johnson was crowned the king of humankind—a great title, and which has never been forgotten. He fought Tommy in the land of jackabrats, amid the yells of transplanted Britishers. He gave it out that his brother, John, had been Negro, but he was placing his on Jeffries. Perhaps he is not placing too much on Jeffries, but faithfulness to himself would not permit him to lay anything on John- It will be remembered that the champion taunted him most unmercifully during that fight. He kept up a raking fire and shouted, "You don't?" harmless and playful, but galling when getting the—well, dickens, knocked out of one to boot. Burns smarted under this punishment, and he, more than all men, will want to see John's well dressed well. Will it be his pleasure? It is well said that Jack Johnson has never whipped any of the great ones. Burns expressed it well the other day that Johnson had made a big thing of it with little fellows like himself and John. He has not tried himself out on such men as Corbett, Fitzsimmons or Jeffries, consequently he is unknown. It is not known whether he is in the manner class. Burns has made himself appear in such an ugly appearance in America, Jeffries' power and ability seem to be better known than Johnson's. The odds are greatly in favor of Jeffries, and while John has not tried himself to butler a spiritual market, as a thing of assist to the spiritual man, some of it is the estimate of faith in Jeffries' ability to knock out Johnson. There is, of course, an element of original fear, and while forgotten that the way of the wagers do sometimes tell the way of the victory. It looks now as if Jack Johnson will enter the ring within a few pounds of the weight, his original fear fortune. He has not simply fortunate in holding his weight, despite the predictions and the apparent losses he sustained. The fact that he will do no work save shadow boxing gives him an opportunity to pick up a few pounds before the fight. It is maintained that "Richard's himself again," as it concerns Jeffries; that he has been recaimed from the receding procession of has-beens. Johnson says that he is recaimed, he agrees, being recaimed. He wants to get the ring in fit condition. He has given it out that he will bring home the bacon. The majority of the colored people feel that he will do nothing else; hence they are putting what they have to spare on --- Rapid headway is being made on the arena. A force of 175 men is working ten hours a day to have it completed this week, and so marked was the progress yesterday that the contractors say it would be possible to do that the next day night. The plans call for a seating capacity of about seventeen thousand, but, according to Rickard, heavy orders for tickets from the East recently point to the possibility of a much larger attendance for the event, which may be necessary to enlarge the structure. To be prepared for such emergency lumber will be hauled to the site and held in the building until the next day. The form will be placed behind the rear top seats, providing standing room for about four thousand persons, thus bringing the complete capacity of the arena up to 21,000. It is estimated that more than 400 people will be put into the building before it is ready for use. The Washoe county grandury, which is supervising the work, is overlooking no precaution for the safety of spectators. Tex Rickard is counting on a $400,000.

EVENTS OF PAST WEEK CHICAGO LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE GIVES BANQUET In Negro Interests—Memorial Program in Honor of Paul Dunbar—Home Girls Whist Club Closed Social Season. BY CARY B. LEWIS. (Bureau 2393 State St.) Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., June 30.-Special to the Freeman. -In an effort to present to the public the proof of the value of its existence, the Chicago local Negro Business League has lately been making some important interest in the business, a salary, character of such employment, and a result that is not only surprising but gratifying to all interested persons. As to how many Negroes are employed in the large firms and mercantile establishment, the character of such employment, the salary, and the extent Negroes patronize these concerns make interesting reading as public journals and is certainly inspiring and enlightening. In more ways than one the local Negro Business League is looming up in importance. The most prominent business men in Chicago are on the board of the real usefulness and helpfulness as illustrated by the record-breaking attendance at the banquet given in one of the best nights on the board over the Tuesday past furnished. The after-dinner speeches reflected a sober variety of opinions that, all summed up, mean good to the black community. In this connection Dr. George H. Hall, premier physician and surgeon, stands out notably for the energy and activity he has been able to inject in all these efforts. He has successfully offered a factor in the next annual session of the National Negro Business League and also the National Medical Association. As president of the local Business League, he has been able to unify Chicago varied interests to the extent that in after months or years, the public might reasonably bigger results in this community. Dr. Hall has been making a study of the "hookworm" disease, said to be prevalent among the Negroes, to have its origin among the Negroes, and at the National Medical Association in Washington will have a convincing array of facts prove that the agent is the Negro in the South. He suggests the reasonable fear that the agitation of this subject has for its object the effect of prejudicing in the Negro's usefulness in service in the South. --- Mr. and Mrs. David Manson entertained last week Miss Lillian Vanderburg of St. Louis, Mo.

CONFERENCE OF NEGRO COL LEGE PRESIDENTS AND REP- PRESENTATIVES. At the conference of presidents and representatives of Negro colleges recently held in Atlanta, it was recommended that the amount of Greek and Latin should be reduced in the interest of natural science, English, history and sociology. The recommendation is in accord with the prevailing thought of the best educators of the country. The movement is in the interest of utility rather than the ornaments of education. The greatest good for the greatest number is the ruling idea. It is not denied that extensive acquaintance with the dead languages has its use, but limited as compared with the good resulting from the us of good English, history, natural science and sociology. These prepare for the needs of the day—the needs of the many as against those of the few. Much Greek and Latin for schools, intensely literary people, those that have leisure and are leisurely inclined. America is a bustling country; the word hurry is written across everything: failing in the admonition, one soon loses place in the procession. The tendency is towards the vocational, fitting gfor the active duties of every-day life. The conference, in speaking on the point, said: "We believe that vocational training is a pressing need of Negroes, but that it should be preceded and accompanied by as much cultural training as is practicable." We deem that this cultural training referred to is meant to be along the lines of the chosen occupations—those that promise eto engage, the great majority. In this respect natural science comes first as we see it, since it has to do with the common things, or the things about us; then English, since it means understanding. To the race, sociology is no less important than the other subjects, due to the race struggle. In some sense—civic—it is of more importance, teaching the rule of conduct—artificial conduct—and which must be learned. Like the laws and medicine, they are ever changing. Artificial because not conventional, contrary to the general custom. For instance, the Supreme Court of Louisiana has declared invalid certain kinds of marriage contracts or those between certain colors of people. Next year it may be doing something else, or some other State, making the question of sociology an absolutely necessity if we wish to move without imposing on the law. "THE CLANSMAN" BARRED. "The Clansman" was "suppressed" the other day so far as Philadelphia was concerned. Three years ago the managers attempted to put it on, but it was violently opposed by the colored people, the result of which it was prohibited by the courts. In face of the experience it was strange that the managers thought they could still work the stalid old Quaker town. Perhaps they thought they would catch the Negroes napping. To the contrary, however, they slept on their arms, so to speak, and when the "enemy" appeared they were up and at 'em. Mayor Reyburn lost no time in making his decision. He said: "There is only one thing for me to do. The courts have already acted upon this question and I can only follow them in the matter. The management will have to withdraw the play. It is their own fault that this must be done. They had the order of the court before. That will stand as far as I am concerned." The representatives of the Constitutional League and other societies that had the matter in hand insisted that the play raised race prejudices. Perhaps it was the only plea—the strongest at any rate, and sufficient—since the court maintained that its production meant disturbing the peace or something to that effect. The decision appeared extraordinary since it was an interference with one's right to pursue his calling, yet it is no more extraordinary than other decisions made in the interest of the great majority. Not long since the Supreme Court based a decision on the known race antagonism and by so doing won the displeasure of the Negroes, but which decision was the means of the greatest amount of satisfaction owing to the peculiar race relations. So, after all, the thing is not always one-sided. It is not very often the Negroes get the benefit of decisions growing out of our complex civil life, yet once in a great while the indicator points to the race as in this Philadelphia case, and where the most good was rendered the community by a decision based on the known race antagonism. THE HAWAIIAN QUEEN NON- SUITED. Queen Liliukalani of Hawaii has again been defeated in her attempt to secure $450,000 of the rentals of the crown lands. The Court of Claims decided that the lands belonged to the government and that the Queen had no personal claim on them. The court ought to know what it is talking about, since we may presume it has made thorough investigation. It also seems that the deposed Queen would know a thing or so about the titles of the lands. We are not well enough informed on the case to discuss it with certainty or assuredness. It strikes us, however, that the ex-Queen has been pilloried by our government, held up and relieved of her belongings, and presumably because they were so extensive. When the truth is fully known it may all turn out different. It is to be hoped that it will not be as it appears today when the case wears the aspect of might against right. THE GREAT COMBAT. A few more days and then the greatest stistic combat known to the history of the game. On the 4th of July champion Jack Johnson will meet ex-champion James Jeffries to try for the world's supremacy of fighting men. Optionion seems to be even as to who will win the great match. While this is true it is plain that more is involved than a contest of man against man. Jeffries is viewed as the pugilistic standard bearer of the white race and is expected to win in order to maintain the flag afloat. Reason argues in favor of Johnson owing to strength and youth, but science in its various forms is being employed to eke out what Jeffries is supposed to lack, so taking it all in all opinion is pretty evenly divided as to who will be the victor. Johnson is looked on by the colored people as the pugilistic Moses. They are waging their hard coin on him in testimony of their faith. A few, however, are not full of faith, consequently they are laying a bit on Jeffries. They have got on to the fact that mere brawn is not of all of it. They have watched the manifest keen anxiety for Jeffries to win. They know that everything known by way of scientific treatment is at Jeffries's command, hence the doubt as to the outcome. Johnson, of course, is not neglecting scientific aids. Yet it is plain that of the two Jeffries can make the greater and more successful demand, and simply because it is a fight in some sense for the supremacy of the race. Fairly put, it is a contest of brain against brawn. VALDOSTA, GA. Special to THE FREEMAN. Dr. C. S.

A PURELY NEGRO ORGANIZATION Order was organized in 1882 by Negroes, and it is in heralding the fact that not one line of its seer unwritten, were stolen from any white man's order of Negro brains.

It not only admonishes the Negro to prepare to die, but is emphatic in teaching him how to live and improve his condition in this life by self-help, thrift, industry and living up to the true principles of honesty. BLAZED A WAY WHICH OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING—NEW IDEAS Thousands of men and women have remained out of Fraternal Orders because they objected to the time-worn custom of marching under frying banners and streaming Regalia, also the practice of doing naught but looking after the sick and burying the dead. The Mosaic Templars of America adopted a simple badge (2x6 inches) as its regalia, and was the first Fraternal institution in the United States to introduce the Endowment feature. It has been adopted by all of the leading Fraternal Orders in the world. OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION IS OUR BED-ROCK OF STRENGTH— DON'T OWE A DOLLAR By careful and conservative business methods we place our financial condition where it cannot be shaken. Through our Endowment Department we have paid out to widows and orphans nearly a half-million dollars. All of our claims are paid to date, and we pay them as soon as they are filed in this office—there is no delaying or waiting, for we have got the money. We never allow our reserve fund to fall below 1 per cent. of the value of policies in force. Insurance Experts have figured this out as a safe margin, and we strictly adhere to it.

A monument will be erected in memory of John Brown by the Negroes of the country. It will stand on the campus of the university and stand in memory of Jim Kans, and will cost $70,000. It was started by W. T. Vernon, registrar of the treasury. Of the fifty-five thousand enumerators employed in gathering population statistics for the thirteenth census, one thousand six hundred and five were Negroes. Of these, one thousand two hundred and ninety-five were in the Southern States. A. L. Calhoun, of Keystone, W. Va., is said to be worth from $150,000 to $180,000. He is a householder, a householder, the members of which have a rating of $250,000 in Bradstreet's report. A clothing manufacturing company, of Baltimore, by colored people is promised. One hundred colored workmen will be employed. The Negroes of New York have bought one of theaters at auditorium theatres on Market street, and are preparing to expend $3,000 in remodeling it. Prince Teal, Chinese military expert, when visiting West Point recently expressed great admiration for the squad of colored soldiers stationed there. In speak- "If they thin plains, he said." I have never seen troops that could be compared to these men." Springfield, IL, is to have a bank, by and for colored people. Only two more Northern cities have institutions of the kind. Joseph Charles, a nec York Negro, was recently awarded $2,000 in a damage suit, owing to an assault made upon him by a policeman. Mrs. Martha Generals, an aged colored woman of Wilkesburre, Pa., has been granted a bronze medal and a pension of $20 a month by the Carnegie Hero Commission for her bravery in saving the life of little John Walkes, four years ago. A Garrison tablet was recently placed on the Westmoreland Hotel, New York City, by a great-grandson of the abolitionist. The inscription on the tablet reads: WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON DIED HERE MAY 24, 1879. Haytil is said to be rejoicing over the fact that it is to have its first railroad, and that it is to doubtless the world of civilization will be surprised to know that the island has not beretofore enjoyed the blessing, of that evangel of civilization. An advancement been started by the graduate of Howard University to purchase an oil painting of John Mercer Langdon of the university, Carnegie Library of the university, Langdon well known as a lawyer, a statesman, an orator, an educator and as a leader of his race. He was at one time dean, and then president of the well-known institution. A colored man being refused a seat in a Chicago theatre used the manager, E. H. Morris, the well-known attorney, appeared for the colored man and won the case. Damage in the sum of one hundred dollars was awarded. One good thing about the Johnson-Jefferson matter is that there are some people in the world who concerned no matter what the outcome may be.—The Chicago Defender. Well, let's see. Who can they be, any how NOT PERMITTED TO MARCH. As a matter of racial differences in this country the incident at Washington, D. C., during the World's Sunday School Convention, while trifling in appearance, as contrasted with other happenings, was the most serious of years. Really nothing since the days of freedom has so tended to emphasize the fact that there is avowed antagonism of a kind between the races, the kind that will not readily down. Hostility from other sources than the christian church, or any society grounded on humanitarian principles do not weigh like that of those institutions that advertise the brotherhood of man as one of the cardinal principles. Indeed, most of us have been taught to view religious institutions and moral, like Ceasar's wife—above suspicion, as to religious and moral integrity on behalf of adherents. And not only adherent are communicants, but those beyond the pale are supposed to be the objects of solicitude. We have learned in some sort of a way to disassociate church and state, so to speak, expecting anything from an individual or sets of individuals actuated by temporary influences, real or imaginary; expecting everything in a manner fair and square of institutions that seek to life into the higher strata of earthly striving, even to the very ultimate the heavenly hope as vouchsafed those that do aright. A young man, colored, recently won a prize at Cornell University for oratory. His subject was, "The Philosophy of the Race Struggle." We are not at all acquainted with the contents of the speech, but presume it had to do with just such phases of the race question as that presented at Washington. We have also spoken under the fitting caption "The Philosophy of the Race Struggle," and more than once. It suggests itself out of series of conditions of the past, remote and recent; also traditions, situations and sentiment. Through it all the Negro has ever been in extreme opposition to the best examples of the Caucasians, who from their viewpoint are the type people of the world, and also by concession on the part of many dark races, none more especially than our own race. The American Negro feels keener the contrast, since he sees more of the comparison. He both concedes and rebels; concedes superiority in various way, yet are horror tricken at its mandates. The attempt to throw off the voke, however, is a most commendable thing regardless of the vigor of the thong. St. Paul said it was useless to kick against the pricks. It may be so, is so, as far as we know in most cases, but not in all cases. Judicious kicking is it, rather than that which binds faster and at some point perhaps where progression should be made most manifest. The philosophy of the race struggle suggests the intelligent choice of the ways and means, equaling the maximum of good and the minimum of friction. The movement for reducing the peculiar stubbornness now confronting will be slow, just as the formation of causes for the stubbornness was slow. Progression is noted in many ways, material ways, we may put it. Progression has been retarded in spiritual ways; herels the hurt. Much influence and respect will not accrue a people where nothing but contempt meet their finer strivings manifest through "chilly distances." The marching event of Washington, the disposition of hotels, the frigidity of public places, the austerity of men in high places, all displayed a single people, mean spiritual intimidation, calculated to breed a race of spiritual cowards; perhaps the bent of the system. But referring to the incident of the church again we are liberal enough to say that it is too much to expect that the church as such and as commonly viewed, is better than its units, if one can thus express it. The church, having in mind the organizations of white people, in fact has no right to be hypocritical in its pretensions; it can not rise to meet occasions excepting through outer appearance and which is no exception at all. It is morally wrong and works a great injury for those institutions to appear better as wholes than the component parts, a thing contrary to natural philosophy—the whole can not be better than its parts. We are also charitable enough to say that to a man, the organizations are not made up of individuals that do not care to see Negroes infringe even that much ground of social equality as marching in procession, yet the contention is not sacrificed, since conditions are known. It would perhaps be better that men or institutions should unbreast themselves in such matters—church, society, state, rather than harboring eternally, like smouldering volcanoes. an erosion is sometimes disastrous, but afterwards, if it is complete, there is a broad peace—the best possible understanding resulting. The foregoing, it is to be hoped, will be understood a plea for reformation of the units of the church, since, as we view it, otherwise no real reform can come. Falling in this, christian organizations receive a shock, and yet good is accomplished, because the platform of principles is enunciated, thus saving against future mistakes as to the intent and purposes of such organization along the lines of the Washington happening. An honest organization after all, is to be preferred to one that dissembles, being at heart as violent in opposition as another that speaks out. AN ESCAPADE. Young Edwin Gould, son of a New York millionaire, recently concluded that he wanted to see a bit of the world. He seems to be one of those chaps met up with once in a great while who for the life of them can't be conventional. That is to say, they can't abide by the agreements of society, always—tinged with Bohemia, and which disposition by the way, if diagnosed rightly, will burst out in the form of art, men of letters and those greater things that spread more glory than mere money possession—Dr. Livingstone, to wit. * * * It will not be expected that young boys a-tramping go as a proof of latent genius, yet when one of plenty breaks out as young Goul did, the chances are that he has a vein of gold within if it can only be located. Then, too, the girls genuises might "feel the call," if it became necessary to manifest it in that peculiar way, and that would never do. Eddie enjoyed his tramp from a school way up the country, where they sent him. In reciting his experiences he spoke of his having to sleep in a room where there were six or seven colored men and some other things. Young Gould did not specify the some other things, but a great stretch of imagination is not required to fathom the secret. Enough to say they, we presume, were not necessary to the establishment, contributing in no way to its comfort. The young man got in hard luck. And right there human nature began to assert itself. One touch of necessity makes the whole word kin. He pawned his $22 rain coat for a dollar or sold it, to tide him over. He said: "It helped some." So, high or low, rich or poor, we find ourselves so many camels; when the pinch comes we begin to consume our humps. The expression is a platitude, since there is nothing else to do. A man will not starve with a superfluous coat on his back. But Eddie is home again after his tramp, where he got "winded" up in the roads. His was but "the common fate of all," all that have taken freakish excursions out into God's open without chart or compass. He was turned from a farmer's choice looking haystack or barn. Why didn't he try the house and say who he was? He wasn't built that way; he chose to be a soldier, accepting a soldier's fare. And besides, who would believe that there were fairies and princes roaming through the unromantic wilds of our country. LIBERIA HAS WAR ON HAND. The latest report is that Liberia is in the throes of a border war with the natives. This is not very comforting news for the little republic. Advantage was taken of a peace commission to a certain native chief, who insisted that his border had been crossed without permission. He held the act a sign of hostility, fell on the men of peace as they entered the chief's market place. The government made a demonstration, but not without a success, losing rather heavily. The wise old chief is reported to be using his influence in combining the natives against the colony. The outcome does not look very encouraging. Yet, it is thought the government will triumph in the end since it has 1,500 fighting men, a number thought sufficient to crush out any opposition to the government.

SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1910. Make the managers know what you are doing by advertising in The Freeman theatrical and sporting number to be issued July 9. Now is the time! Summer has come right out of the kinks—doing double duty. Corn is doing the gourd act. The biggest of fights—Fourth of July. Will Johnson carry home the bacon? Will Jeffries sustain the white man's burden? T. Fortune denies that he has reached the Dr. Osler period of life. Now, if he will just act that way he will be all right. An Iowa man says that he has discovered a method of preserving oysters in cold storage for ten years. Just let them stay in there indefinitely; it will be the best for the people. Isabel L. Wall is colored, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of Washington, D. C., that is for school purposes since she is from one-eighth to one-sixteenth negro. When she gets older she can easily elect her race. Her position will then be somewhat enviable; she can have experiences on either side. What will she do? What ought she to do? The Indiana Avenue theatres have been showing some pictures illustrating well-known wants, and also activities of world characters. Some of the theatre-goers have been laughing in the wrong place, however. The managers are to be congratulated on the pictures, but the audience wants to learn to appreciate good things. Even little boys of school age should have some sense of the serious, the beautiful, the pathetic. The Christian Recorder in its special industrial edition gives quite a review of the race along business lines. Valuable information of the race is gleaned here and there through the publication, contributed by those of authority and rich experience in the matters dealt with. The contributions are many and on various subjects. Among those that contributed to the very valuable number were: Henry Allen Bond, R. R. Wright, T. Thomas Fortune, Geo. L. Knox, Thomas W. Burton, M. N. Work, Chas Banks and R. C. Houston, Jr. Dr. Booker T. Washington would err should he decide to decline the life membership conferred upon him at a cost of $1,000 by the World's Sunday School Convention. The body at large was not responsible for the disgraceful conduct of the Washington local committee. The convention promptly and emphatically rebuked the local committee for its assinity by thus honoring Dr. Washington, as their tribute to the Christian Negroes of the world. It would be unjust to the big-hearted men and women who did what they could to repudiate the action of the Negro-hating bourbons for Dr. Washington to throw their gift back into their faces. There isn't the slightest reason in the world why Dr. Washington should not retain the honor that this international body of Christians has so generously awarded him. The blame for the humiliation of the Negro and the misrepresentation of the spirit of the convention lies door of the Washington committee—and there it should rest until the crack o' doom. Governor Gillette of California has all the earmarks of a . grand-stand performer. The Fourth of July strikes us as a remarkably appropriate day for Washington to cross the Delaware. The sixth annual session of the Negro Business League of Mississippi at Mound Bayou this week promises to be one of the big meets of the year in the Southland. The Federation of Women's Clubs and the State Press Association adds to the occasion. With Charles Banks at the helm there can be no such word as fall. Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, has written an article for the American Magazine, reviewing the work being done by Bert Williams in the New York theaters. Williams has an exhibition of the country with vaudeville artists in the country. Dr. Washington also has an article in the June number of the World's Work, urging the expenditure of a large amount of money for the celebration of Negro people in the rural districts. --- The Johnson family is having its innings nowadays.

The most important example of America's achievement in the manufacture of a product in a cost to the consumer of 500 per cent, less than has ever before been known has been launched in the city of Chicago by the Western Casket and Underwear Company.

News of the Sporting World CHICAGO GIANTS LOSE TO RED SOX Special to THE FREEMAN. The Chicago Giants being defeated on last Sunday by the Red Sox sent them to fifth place in the City League. It was their first game, the Chicago Giants at their new home, the Chicago Avenue. The game was not marked by any sensational slab work or flashes of brilliant playing, but was evidently an unlucky day for the Giants, for they had fourth inning, there being one score in and a good hitter at the bat and two out, but he was unable to deliver the goods. They were never able to rally again in an outing. "Chappie" Johnson worked hard and faithfully and threw the ball down to second and put several men out, while he threw several more and the second and put several men out. Costly errors were in a large measure the cause of the game being lost. The Giants tried the hit-and-run play for several innings, but the Red Sox beat them to it. "Williams started to pitching, but Walter Ball was put in the box. The Red Sox showed good form and just outplayed the colored boys. Eddie Kahn of the Red Sox started the battle by bringing in two men, and this they kept up until the close of the game." Pettus made a beautiful double play unassisted and Moore a two-base hit and for Williams stock looked better and good until the eight inning, when the Red Sox started a rally and bombarding and outfielder in our more scores. The eighth inning told the for there was nothing doing in the ninth and the game closed with a score of 7 to 6. It was an ideal deay and the grand stand was packed with half white and half colored fans, while the bleachers and Sons were on guard at all times. The score Red Sox. R. H. O. A. E.

Wickway pitched a splendid game, striking out seven men. The visitors were able to score in the seventh inning, while the Lelands started off with a score, making one in the second, two in the sixth and four in the eighth. It was almost a complete wallop and the Kansans were baffled at through the game. At one time it looked through it would be a shutout. The score: Leland Giants. R. H. O. A. E.

Every fan was confident that the Chicago Giants would have tied the Red Sox in the fourth inning on last Sunday, but luck was against the colored team. "Chappie" Johnson was certainly in the game, "Chappie" got the crowd with him during the rally in the fourth and the team became rattled, and with a small hit it would have been a different tale. A fly was knocked in right field near an offseason of the law, it was "Johnnie on the spot" and caught it. The crowd yelled, "Sign him, sign him!". Pettus's headwork in the sixth inning saved the opponents from bringing in a scare. He doubled play unassisted. His work on Sunday was very clever. It was poor fielding that lost the game for the Giants. But the pitchers did good work, and fumbling with the ball caused so many of the Red Sox to "mosey on home." "Steel Arm" Johnnie Taylor won his game from the Eclipse on last Sunday morning. It was an even break with the Chicago Giants on last Sunday. Moore knocked a two-base hit and it looked as though it was going over the fence. It was the hit of the day among the Giants. The first hit of the game was made by Eddie Tain of the Red Sox. It was a two-base hit, bringing in two men. "Chappie" Johnson made a great catch, sewing up the sixth inning. Manager Frank Leland sat on the bench near the Giants and did his best to cheer them to victory. He regretted to see them lose the game. The Leland Giants will leave on Thursday for Cheboygan, Wis., to play two games. The mighty "Rube" and Bearguard Mosely are all smiles over the success of their teams. Has any one noticed Duncan's huge medal? It covers his whole breast. The critics report that Foster has one of the best teams ever organized. Hill and Duncan pulled off several big league catches in the field on last Sunday. "BIL" Lindsey is a good pitcher. All the needs is a good team behind him. He had all the sluggers on the team bending after him. . . . When it comes to first base playing, please see Mr. Foster of the Kansas City Giants. The Leland Giants report a delightful trip to French Lick, West Baden and Louisville. Foster and his men were given their first victory. Foster has the country, of admirers all over the pawnbroker. The team is expected to go East later on. Lloyd Hill, Duncan and Johnson used all kinds of headwork in the game on last Sunday. The fans that attended the game of the third game on last Sunday were very much pleased. The crowd was immense and a cool breeze added much pleasure to the occasion. As usual, there was a large number in the crowd, with plenty of chairs, clean and dusted. Mendez, the famous Cuban pitcher, won the game with artisans on last Sunday. They also won from the Dixon Browns the same day. Overflow seats are expected to be called for at the Chicago Giants' new stadium, a number who were uninformed that the Giants had moved wended their way to 79th street. BBy another week every day, the team will know of the Giants' new park. --- J. F. Howard, advertising manager of The Freeman was a spectator at the game on Sunday. Howard is a great friend of his old friend. He says Chicago is the greatest city in the country for baseball and The Freeman is the best paper to get the baseball sport news. The all-absorbing talk now among the fans is the Jeffries-Johnson fight. All. The players in the game of Johnson. Jack has written several of the players to put all they have on him, for he says that he is "going to bring the coonskin home." The Chicago Giants will play the Saplinders on next Sunday at 61st and 62nd. This will be a game in the regular City League and a large crowd is expected.

Special to THE FREEMAN "Mammys Little Molasses Candy Boy" was the song that made the hit of the evening at Mott's Pekin Theater Monday night, sung by Miss Abbie Mitchell. She drew the picture of her family, the happily tree, mother careening the little child. It was this song that showed her early training and the motherly feeling that only lies in the heart and soul of the Negro mother, seated in her humble courage building her strength. The only tree she will become a Napoleon of his time irrespective of race. More songs of this type and more actors and actresses of Miss Abbie Mitchell's character, picturing the Negro it is possible for the Negro to entertain along artistic and cultured lines. In the rendition of "Cousin Caruso" Miss Mitchell displayed her wonderful versatility, picturing the Italian, Italian, Italian, far superior to all others who attempt grand opera, comic opera, musical comedy and other branches of entertainment, and made it known with a final exclamation "Mammys's the Use, He's My Cousin Caruso?" "As Long as the World Goes Round" was the song that showed her unparalleled training and culture and that she possessed the courage to accomplish and capable of running the gauntlet from grand opera to musical comedy. Entering beneath the glare of brilliant white light, she felt graceful and graceful but modest bow, she responded to the overwhelming reception tendered her and then her pure, sweet soprano voice rang through the room, and the voices being lifted from their seats and carried gleefully over the waves of joy to the accompaniment of sweet music from the voice of an agile soprano. "This is what that she did not consider it necessary to leave the stage, but as one reading the preface of a book tuned the pages of music and went on to sing to follow, amid forms of applause. Again, Miss Mitchell, we say, May you THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER live in our hearts "As Long as the World Goes Round." Next in line came Joe Sims, a young and promising monologist, who started the ball to rolling with a comedy son. He certainly did whoo the audience up. He watched the comedy show and then he went in a brilliant routine of prattier that kept the audience roaring during his entire stay upon the stage. His song, "I o'Wonder Why," featuring the comedian and his friend, the friries in the coming big fight, made him unquestionably one of the big features of the evening. The Manola Family, the Watson Sisters, Beatrice and Helen sampled the strongest bill to have seen since our coming to the city, and udging from Monday night's attendance, if it is to be taken as a sample, it will be hard to tell which will be the winner. It will be or next week's beginning with the Johnson-Jeffries return direct by wire, moving pictures of Ketchell and Johnson, and Pankey and Cook, the Brittons, Griffin Sisters, the Orpheum Comedy Four and Pankey, the Mitchell in an entire change of program.

The Stage. 6 To Get Out a Big Theatrical and Sporting Number Combined—The Date Changed for Better Results In order that we may be given the desired amount of time to issue one of the largest and best theater and summer theatrical numbers that has ever yet been produced by the management of The Freeman, the date has been changed from June 25 to July 9. In addition to the theater number extra pages will be added to give a complete account of the outcome of the Johnson-Jeffries fight, with the best illustrations obtainable. No doubt you have always admired our Christmas numbers, but we are certain that you will be wonder-struck and filled with congratulations for the "Negro Theater and Summer Edition of Theatricals" when you receive it. It will contain interior and exterior views and accounts of the most popular colored playhouses in America. A special department will be given over to sketches and illustrations of new acts, the hits of the best vaudeville circuits in the field, the future stars and the prospective beginners who are now creating marked attention on the variety stage; the progress of stock companies and the colored artists of the circus world. In the last two or three seasons the colored musician has become a great favorite with about every circus that travels, although little has been said of him. It will be our aim to give the many artists of the circuses special mention in this number. A feature of this number will be the well-written articles to be contributed by some of the most widely known authorities in the business. The coming of the Negro theater and its success will be discussed by knowing persons. Then the vaudeville stage and the colored performers' march of progress will come in for a share of space. What about the most popular colored theater and the favorite stage critic? You will be allowed to vote on that, and THIS YOU SHOULD REMEMBER: That there will be just lots of space for your picture and write-up or any advertisement that you may have. This issue is for the manager to know what you are doing and for you to know what all managers are doing. We want you to write to us right away on this matter, as we are making these write-ups to you at a very low rate when you consider the good it is sure to do you. Remember, the date is July 9, and the forms close Wednesday, July 6. PEOPLE'S THEATRE. HOUSTON. We have a new bunch here this week, a lucky addition to the team, as follows: Ed.

Boot and Baggage En Route to Reno —Johnson's Speed Passion Troubles Him Once More. Only once more in the world's history has been a retreat that will outclass the one, by way of renown, which the other day when the Governor of California showed a hard principal trumps to Texan governor, a principal promoter of the world famous Johnson-Jeffress fight set down for the Fourth of October Moscow when fate wrote its terrible speech everywhere. The choice—no place to pause where he might mend his broken fortunes. He had no Reno. The light promoters began their retreat as soon as Governor Galate gave out the final word. Right happily for the niggers the march was not a long one. Fight to a finish are permitted in the desert of Nevada. While a little disconcert to the promoters owing to the ready they would work with a right all right—on the road to Reno, and up in less than a night, the little Nevada burg was all but stubble and earl for the greatest battle ever known between man Men women and children are all proud that the fight is going to be in Reno. In fact this fight was in Reno. Government he was there to carry out what was not to make them. And there couldn't be a mayor or sheriff unless he were a dead game one. So the fight is on at Reno by a great big majority. Jeffries lost no time in making for the new scene. He found excellent quarters at Moor Springs. Reno has has begun his daily grind. white race in fistic matters. The white man's terrible response is to the white and he has gone undone to give the factory report of himself on the day of the nation's independence. He has taken advantage of everything. He looked like advantage. One is impressed by the business-like hush about his Johnson finally reached Reno, but not without running counter to the law. It was the same old thing of the speed limit, which he was necessary to appear in court, where they concluded to deal lenently with him—bail $10. John L. Sullivan got in bad when he gave out a favorable report about Quinn after he had looked over his qubits. His intention was also to look over the Jeffries headquarters, but Corbett put his foot down on it, saying that John L. Sullivan had the courage to express it. Corbett pretends to know nothing of this, insisting that the trouble date was when he knocked himself and Jeffries. The faction-champion had this to say of Johnson: "This is the first time I have ever seen the big jack in the pocket favorably would harden be expressing my meaning. He is a big piece of humanity, and I am not surprised, after seeing his wonderfully developed body and the one of his exerted Jeffries decided upon unplanned plan of preparation." "I saw Johnson probably four hours after he had finished four and after he had paid a visit to the city to straighten out some of his numerous legal entanglements, the Seal Rock House, Johnson evidently takes his troubles lightly, because whatever difficulty he was having he made it through at his work with an aliceracy that was really surprising, in view of the twelve-mile plug on the road earlier in the day. "What surprised me more than anything else in Johnson's work in the ring was his stealthy method of action. He was very careful in organizing this respect. Apparently he does not move around on his feet and he gives the impression unless you watch him closely. He is very careful when he opponent gets within the proper range, a short straddle or slight advance forward as the glove goes out and then you can see that he has judged you. But when he opponent gets within the proper range, a short straddle or slight sparing he did today would not give any one much of an idea what he could do with a strong opponent of equal caliber, though you could imagine that he would not sparing Jeff will make and the way he drops his chbows and holds his upper arms close to his body would give one more chance to get down and some thought to that plan of defense." Both camps are busy 'tending to business at this time. Jeffries grew a little sentimental the other day when he told me: "I am away my title exactly five years ago," said Jeffries, "and now I have come to get it back. You know I retired from the Army, and I have been in the battle between Martin Hart and Jack Root. Hart won in the twelfth round, and I gave him the championship of the word. Now it has fallen into Jack's hands. I am going to give it away I have come back here to fight to get it back. I'll do it, too." JOHNSON AND JEFFRIES CHAM PIONSHIP BATTLE. Bv JULI JONES. JR. The greatest event in the history of all ages will not show a contest to equal this one to come. Following the line of past events, it can be easily seen that public events can be held on the Atlantic to a jumping off place on the Pacific.

The two men are the greatest athletes the world has produced at the same time, equally matched in every way. Generally summed up, they are too evenly balanced to make betting a decided proposition. Following the arguments and different sporting editor's opinions, not one of them have come out flat and predicted the outcome. Every fair-minded writer has used every "if" and "unless" to oxygene to protect himself in case something goes wrong by no means a race supremacy battle. It is a battle for thousands of dollars. The race question was raised by sporting editors throughout the world on Jeffries as the bull fighters would raise the red flag in an insecure effect on Jeffries. It is well that the colored man does not take this race question too seriously, as Jack Johnson is fighting to retain the championship and 500 points. This race question will get many a man in trouble the Fourth of July if he carries it too far. Gus Ruhlin would be classed as a big, strong Dutchman; but Germany don't turn out ring stars. Tom Sharkey, a rough and tumble Irishman; no science; could stand any amount of punishment, but he was not back after having been beaten by Fitzsimmons. Jeffries' history is too well known to take up space explaining every detail. He was by far the best man of his day, yet he lacked the punch that Sullivan and Jackson. All of this was eight years ago. Today is another thing. The ring history of Jack Johnson and public life. If one follows his route through the ring has produced but one man near his equal, and that was the great John Morrisie, who in his time set a precedent that may never be reached by any other man. The ring was champion of the world at one time, a member of Congress and one of the founders of the famous Saratoga Springs. He amassed a fortune of a million dollars and was the first to present conditions are different. What Jack Johnson is today he made himself; he is not only the superior man of all men in athletics, but has more official titles than any other, including the greatest of all amusement affairs in the history of the world. He has single handed made every one connected with the fight come to his terms. Here he is the greatest of all their cares and affairs in their managers' hands. Peter Jackson, Geo. Dixon, Joe Waleott, Joe Gans, Sam Langford and all except Geo. Godfrey, old chocolate, and all except the fighter or wrong, the fighter followed his instructions. They all ended up broke. This rule works with the whites as well as Johnson seeing their mistake as taken on account of himself for legal battles as well as ring troubles. As matters now stand he will get as much money out of his battle as Johnson would get from his gray matter is in good condition; as a fighter he outclasses every man that ever put on a glove, and has the ability to win. We may give Joe Choyneskil credit for Jack Johnson being champion, for Joe gave him his first lesson by handing him a wallop and sending him off to dreamland. When Jack Johnson came to his senses he readily solved the problem of how to become a champion prize fighter of the world; hit the other fellow, and above all America has turned out but one prize fighter that reached the championship and has undergone the same experience that Jack Johnson has had. Following the lines of Jack Johnson to championship, one will readily see that no living man has gone through what Jack Johnson has gone through with to read the highest point. He will have to read the lowest streak, quitter, four-fluorist, trickster and all kinds of denouncements. The public demanded of him that he whip every colored man in the business before he could win. He did this, then he was passed up and given a raw decision for the championship. All of this went to make him what he today has recounted, show that he has defeated many and defeated who heavyweight champion has ever defeated; traveled the world over to do it. As to the winner of this one and only big fight the writer of this article can see the difference in the fight that Jack Johnson has ever had is a waste of time, as the present generation knows his history by heart; but no one with a finish close to his own fighter he really is. His style of fighting could be well compared with Isaac Murphy, the race horse rider, who made all of his finishes close. The same with the other fighter he fought he would slow along with his man. He has never been classed a slugger; for if he had been so classed would not have got the chance he has today. The declaration that the writer can see no one but Johnson needs an explanation more than just saying that Johnson will As I have said, this fight is a reproduction of the Sullivan-Corbett fight, but in an entirely different style. Sullivan, a rusher and a hitter, tries to win the fight, a rusher and a hitter, but fights at random; Johnson, a fighter, a blocker and a hitter. Jeffries will last as long against Johnson as his vitality will last. He may last 20 rounds. All the advise in the world can't put youth and vitality in a man. All this talk about his trainers learning him new tricks is foolish. Yes he may, but he must once count until his blood gets up and he finds none of them will work, then his rage will overcome, and he will resort to the tricks that made Jim Jeffries the greatest of all men. He will count until his anywhere he sees a man white or black. That kind of fighting will be just what THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Johnson will be waiting for. Johnson will watch every move of Jeffries. This rough-house work will last five or six rounds. Johnson will still ensure they can't fight for him. Johnson won't care how much noise they make; he is used to that—in fact, all colored fighters will be allowed to set about slowly putting things to an end. If Johnson is not very careful he will be robbed of a knockout, as the sponge may go up any time after he hits him. Jeffries putting Johnson away with one punch is silly talk and bad noise. If one searches Jeffries' record he will see that Jeffries never put a man away putting Johnson away with a lucky punch he will realize that he has gone to the well for water in a sifter. Jack Johnson should all the other boxers he has had in the last year or two. He has points the best of it, and knows how to use them. His three big points are: He knows who he knows how not to be hit. He has strength and vitality to carry him 100 rounds. Jeffries' weak points are: Out of the game for six years, old style of fighting last, but not least, too old to come back. Murphy's Verdict of Jeff. If Johnson had seen some of the bull rushes Jeffries made while shadow boxing he might not be so confident that he would be within seventeen rounds. They were simply terrifying and the speed power with which he hurled himself across the ring like a 13-inch shell caused the women to scream. Jeff's mood continues to be good. He is delighted with his camp and is apparently happy and full of pranks. As soon as his ring arrives he will be at home and himself yesterday satisfies his trainer, but does not appear to appease the big fellow. He wants to know just how eight or nine rounds of fighting will affect his mind. During his shadow boxing training he is by dumping off the platform an obstruperous gentleman with a souse. JACK ON THE SCENE. Jack Johnson arrived at Reno Friday morning, accompanied by his entire training staff, and went immediately to Rick's resort, where they are now encamped. He met the two men with the ovation tenderd him as he left his train. He made a short speech to the crowd, saying that he expected a hard fight, but that he was confident he would win. "Neither Mr. Jeffries nor myself is used to fighting foul," he said, "so you will all see a mighty fine fight, no matter what." The air here seems to be breeding a belligerent spirit. The latest clash was between Tex Rickard and Sir Hester in the lobby of the Golden Hotel. Hester was the only one with rights to the moving pictures for the independents, and when he found that they had been sold to the trust he got hot. A red-hot argument followed and Rickard was up against Hester. They were mixing up about the corridor when bystanders interfered. a crowd of 500 Negroes gave Johnson a hearty sendoff when he left Oakland. Johnson made a short speech to them, saying: "I want to advise every one of you to bet on me, but not to bet on the duration of the fight. Don't bother about the number of rounds, just get your money and then sit back and wait the bacon and then sit back and wait until the time comes to cash in." TEX RICKARD ON THE SITUATION With Reno definitely fixed as the battleground, with positive assurance from the Governor that no attempt to interruptions, preparations are already under way for building the arena and the Johnson-Jeffries fight seems assured for July 4. No further interference is anticipated, and the arena will be quiet pillow the he has had since Governor Gillette issued his ultimatum that the fight could not be held in California. The selection of a arena for staging the fight is a long-term task. It is a rock-strewn field in East Reno, about a mile and a half from the heart of the city, and is familiar in ring history as the location of the 1964 World Championship July 4, 1906. It is regarded as an ideal location, as it affords plenty of ground for a spacious structure and is within sight of the arena. It has been went over the location today with Rickard and the Reno fight committee and immediately began to carry out plans already prepared for the construction of the arena. The floor square, modeled along the lines of the structure began in San Francisco, will be put up. It is hoped to have it completed by the first week of August, and changed in the original arrangement of seats. A double fight bill will be offered for July if Sid Hester succeeds in carrying the ball to the net. Ketchel bout here on the morning of the big battle and in the same arena. After the selection of the battle grounds for the Jeffries-Johnson contest was made in the second round, the "I have decided to hold the Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno. In making the selection I wish to give my reasons for so doing. Goldfield made an offer which was hot to turn down. They are the gannet of the morning a committee of Goldfield business men offered to take me to a local bank and guarantee me $200,000. I decided on Reno, however, for several reasons, because the fight fans of the East and West should be compelled to take the extra twelve-hour ride across the hot desert to Goldfield. Then again the people from San Francisco would be on the morning of July 4 and leave the fight in order to be back to business Tuesday morning. For this reason I think probably 1,000 or 2,000 will come from San Francisco would not go to Goldfield. The people I could. They will build a suitable arena and buy the $1,000 license for me. Playing Good Ball, But Manager Hard to Please. Ft. Worth Special to FREEMAN. The Minneapolis colored Keystones are here in Texas playing great ball; doing all they can to please Mr. K. F. Mitchell, the manager. Mr. Mitchell does not treat him as well as as if we were a lot of dumbbrutes. We cause we are away from home and cannot get back, because he won't pay off on you; they the boys are sore on him; you play good on them. Mr. Gatewood. Even he is disgusted; and everyone knows that he is one of the best pitched pitchers known. He is the speediest, best pit-ball pitcher in the game today. Mr. James Shawlin has made himself famous with his great hitting. John Meeke has the great slugger. Frank Young is the team favorite at base. Pitcher Jackson is the coming pitcher. McNeair, our little southpaw, is bitter. Davis is a great drawing card bitter. He is a great fielder at shortstop. When the team reaches Chicago, just watch them go some. McCane is the coming third baseman; watch him in a couple of pitches; play the manager next season; because he not know how to treat a baseball team right. JAMES A. COLEMAN.

PERSONNEL OF SOME GREAT PLAYERS. SPECIAL TO THE FREEMAN. I wish to say to you that we have the boys South and all of my boys buy and read THE FREEMAN. We have a team composed of former big league players, such as James Patton, of the Philadelphia Giants of 1909, a southwest team that plays in the baseball baseball; Kid Boots, of the Brooklyn Royal Giants of 1908, at third, showing all of the boys how to handle both fast and slow-hit balls. He is a Hans Wagner player, and he is one of all the pitchers he has met this season. Two or three hits in every game is his style. Henry Hannon, of the Philadelphia Giants of 1909, is a brick wall around second base, and hits them hard and often. He is a big player, and he can ban Giants of 1908, is in center field making all hard chances look easy. He is fast on bases. He should be called the black T Cobb of the South. Willie Cobb at short is getting every ball that comes his way. He is a big player like he played with the Cuban players in 1908. Jesse Turner, a youngster picked up in Mobile, is playing on first base. Look out. Al Robinson and Ray Wilson, he will have to play with the Cuban players. Harris has been the best backstop in the South for years, and is still in the game. When he is catching, the base runners hug the bag, Joe McCoy is as good a player as he is, off the field. Cubs. He is full of tricks and schemes. We will have "Happy Jack" Stevenson, the star left fielder of the New Orleans Kings, also a star. The star left fielder of the same team to join us before starting on our Northern tour. Now, Mr. Knox, I don't intend to knock you agent in our city, but you had best give him the advice on how to write baseball dope. Yours respectfully, JAMES GOLDSTUCKER 32 N. St., Pensacola, Fla.
